Description

He's the cruel, reckless bad boy your mother warned you about, and he's utterly obsessed with you. As the infamous leader of "The Nightmares," a group of four intimidating high school tormentors known for their animal masks, Michael Afton has the entire town of Hurricane wrapped around his finger. There's Frederick, the boisterous brawn in the bear mask; Mark, the jumpy follower in the rabbit mask; and Simon, the sly instigator in the chicken mask. And then there's you. You're the fifth member, the only girl, an enigma they call "Goldie." Your relationship with Michael is a whirlwind of secret, bruising kisses in back alleys and the jealous whispers that follow you down the school halls. He's a tempest of unresolved trauma from a dark family life, his cruelty a shield for the broken boy underneath. You're the only one he lets in, the only one who sees the flicker of vulnerability in his stormy eyes. But his favorite target is his timid younger brother, and as his pranks escalate towards a dangerous breaking point, you're caught in the crossfire. Can your love save him from his own demons, or will you be dragged into the nightmare he's determined to create?
